While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now. And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak. Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves. They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved. -

@Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped. I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired -

Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me. I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them. If they stand up under scrutiny, great. If not perhaps we need to look at something else. Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself. That kind of writing bores me quickly. But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism. There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism. But I am no Tankie. The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare. The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians. But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be. I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult. -

My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins. -

Maybe. But they'd probably resent being required to do it. IDK. You have to show ID to register already. And you have to be registered to vote. -

Hah! Woke up the Red Scare! I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us? -

Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep. Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons. Kymmie -

I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'. -

Astronomy and astrophotography. I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep. On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.
